Here is the interesting thing about the prescription drug plan. Did you know that all of the big drug companies have a plan for people that can not afford medicine to get it from them. The one I had heard of were charging $15 for a prescription for these people. Under the new Medicare rules, it is now going to cost them $20 to get it under the Medicare plan. The co-pay is $20. (Well this what it was before it was voted on so I'm not entirely sure if that is what got passed.)

Just for clarification

Some of the drug companies do offer patient assistant plans. However, they do not cover all medications, they cover a limited few. They also require the patient to have a "patient advocate" represent them. This means that your doctor's office needs to agree to be your patient advocate. I don't know about you, but I can barely get my doctor's office to verify my kids vaccinations let alone go through a variety of paperwork to apply to these programs. You also need a script from your doctor and not all doctors are keen on doing this (the drug companies encourage them to prescribe their drugs, not give them away for free). So, it sounds like a great program but actually is a lot of work for a limited amount of help. Some people may prefer paying the extra five bucks to avoid the headache and have the convenience.

So does this count as trying to keep up to date? LOL. I was on here trying to get my F-body fill and feel like I got all caught up on current political events. I must admit I absolutely hate politics - to think we pay some of these guys makes me sick sometimes. Their responsibilty is huge but much too often their own greed gets in the way of their better judgement. The President is a "figure-head" - I feel he gets too much of the blame for things not going right and too much credit for the things that are going well. You need a leader - in this regard, I think Bush has done a very commendable job.

As far as GW Bush goes. I think he's spending way too much money. He's pumping billions into foreign countries while people here are going hungry or live in poverty.

I liked Clinton. Even with all the endeveaours he went through people liked him. I think they could relate to him.

I agree with you on the Orwell point - its a shame that we have to lose a little freedom in order to protect it. I cant decide if that's right or not.

As for your Clinton view - how can you trade a total lack of morality and blatent dishonesty for money?? EVEN IF (not saying he is) spending too much, Bush has moral character, which goes a long way when leading a country. Clinton made a mockery of everything this country was built upon. He lied, cheated and committed adultery. Thats not the type of person we need leading us and setting an example for all to see.

It's very unfortunate that we have to deal with this kind of thing in our society. Renter's insurance would have cost them about $200/year or less.

Sometimes people just suck.
